Curses!

Ghost Detectors #10

by Dotti Enderle, Howard McWilliam (Illustrator)

When the local museum hosts the exhibit for the mummy of Egyptian king, Tuturtikum, Malcolm and Dandy want to be the first in line. But they soon learn there is more to the mummy than just a wad of rotting rags. They've both become victims of the Tuturtikum curse! It seems the only way to zap the curse is to zap the ghost of Tuturtikum. But can the curse be lifted or will they be jinxed for life? Calico Chapter Books is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO Group. Grades 2-5.

About the author

I'm the author of literally (get it) dozens of books for children.

Born in Killeen, Texas on a cold January day in 1954. My family moved around a lot, allowing me to, over the years, live on a farm, in an historic home and always near rivers or bayous. My playthings were hula-hoops, old typewriters and a wooden leg named Charlie. (Yep, you read that right.) If you want a true glimpse of my childhood dreams, read my novel, Man in the Moon. The character Janine allows you inside my young mixed-up mind.

I’ve lived most of my life in Houston and still live there today. You’ll find me here reading, writing and smiling.

Well, it is super super cool now that I know that the cobra with the ruby eyes comes to life.

Similar to the previous books: humor, mystery, adventure, a ghost, cool tools for dealing with ghosts, etc. This time: Egyptian stuff.
